Journal ArticleDOI
Particle bombardment and the genetic enhancement of crops: Myths and realities
Fredy Altpeter,Niranjan Baisakh,Roger Beachy,Ralph Bock,Teresa Capell,Paul Christou,Henry Daniell,Karabi Datta,Swapan K. Datta,Philip J. Dix,Claude M. Fauquet,Ning Huang,Ajay Kohli,Hans Mooibroek,Liz Nicholson,Thi Thanh Nguyen,Gregory Nugent,Krit Raemakers,Andrea Romano,David A. Somers,Eva Stoger,Nigel J. Taylor,Richard G. F. Visser +22 more
TL;DR: In this review, recent data highlighting the positive impact of particle bombardment on the genetic transformation of plants is discussed, focusing on the fate of exogenous DNA, its organization and its expression in the plant cell.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pyramiding transgenes for multiple resistance in rice against bacterial blight, yellow stem borer and sheath blight
TL;DR: The development of transgene-pyramided stable elite rice lines resistant to disease and insect pests by conventional crossing of two transgenic parental lines transformed independently with different genes is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coordinated regulation of photosynthesis in rice increases yield and tolerance to environmental stress
Madana M.R. Ambavaram,Supratim Basu,Arjun Krishnan,Venkategowda Ramegowda,Utlwang Batlang,Lutfor Rahman,Niranjan Baisakh,Andy Pereira +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown HYR is a master regulator, directly activating photosynthesis genes, cascades of transcription factors and other downstream genes involved in PCM and yield stability under drought and high-temperature environmental stress conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioengineered ‘golden’ indica rice cultivars with β‐carotene metabolism in the endosperm with hygromycin and mannose selection systems
Karabi Datta,Niranjan Baisakh,Norman Oliva,Lina Torrizo,E. Abrigo,Jing Tan,Mayank Rai,Sayda Rehana,Salim Al-Babili,Peter Beyer,Ingo Potrykus,Swapan K. Datta +11 more
TL;DR: This is the first report of using nonantibiotic pmi driven by a novel promoter in generating transgenic indica rice for possible future use in human nutrition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Agrobacterium-mediated engineering for sheath blight resistance of indica rice cultivars from different ecosystems
TL;DR: A concise T-DNA element was engineered containing the rice class-I chitinase gene expressed under the control of CaMV35S and the hygromycin phosphotransferase gene as a selectable marker that showed that transgenic plants can restrict the growth of the sheath blight pathogen Rhizoctonia solani.
